帖撒罗尼迦前书 3
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
派提摩太前往
3 我们既然不能再忍下去，就决定留在雅典， 2 派我们的弟兄，就是在基督的福音上和 神同工的提摩太去，为了要在你们的信仰上坚定你们，劝慰你们， 3 免得有人在各样的患难中动摇了。你们自己知道，我们受患难原是命定的。 4 我们在你们那里的时候，早已对你们说过，我们将会遭受患难。后来应验了，这是你们知道的。 5 因此，我既然不能再忍下去，就派人去打听你们的信心怎样；恐怕那试探人的诱惑了你们，以致我们的劳苦白费了。
6 提摩太刚刚从你们那里回来，把你们信心和爱心的好消息带给我们。他还说，你们常常怀念我们，切切想见我们，好象我们想见你们一样。 7 所以弟兄们，我们在这一切困苦患难中，因着你们的信心就得了安慰。 8 如果你们在主里站立得稳，我们就可以活下去了。 9 我们因你们的缘故，在我们的 神面前满有喜乐；为这一切喜乐，我们可以为你们向 神献上怎么样的感谢呢！ 10 我们昼夜迫切祈求，要见你们的面，并且要补满你们信心的不足。
11 愿我们的父 神自己和我们的主耶稣为我们开路，使我们可以到你们那里去。 12 又愿主叫你们彼此相爱的心，和爱众人的心，都充充足足，多而又多，好象我们爱你们一样。 13 也愿他坚定你们的心，好叫你们在我们主耶稣和众圣徒再来的时候，在我们的父 神面前，完全圣洁，无可指摘。
Kehillah in Thessalonika I 3
Orthodox Jewish Bible
3 Therefore, when we could no longer endure it, we resolved to be left behind alone in Athens.
2 Also we sent Timotiyos, acheinu and fellow po’el of Hashem in the Besuras HaGeulah of Moshiach. We sent Timotiyos in order to give you chozek (strength) and to speak divrei chizzuk to you on behalf of our [orthodox Jewish] Emunah [of the true Dat haYehudit].
3 This was for the tachlis that no one be unsettled because of ES TZARAH. For you yourselves have da’as that we have a divine calendar date with ES TZARAH.
4 For, hinei, when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were going to suffer redifah, just as also it came to pass, of which you have da’as.
5 For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent in order to know your emunah, lest somehow [Hasatan Samma’el] the Tempter [HaMenasseh] had ensnared you by nissayon and our labor should be for nothing.
6 But, just now, when Timotiyos has come to us from you and has brought us good news of your [correct orthodox Jewish] Emunah and your ahavah and that you always have zochrim tovim (good memories) of us, yearning to see us, just as we yearn to see you.
7 For this reason, Achim b’Moshiach, in all our tzoros and redifah, we received chozek because of you through your emunah.
8 For now we have Chayyim if you have a firm standing and remain ne’emanot (faithful) in Hashem.
9 For what hodayah are we able to return to Hashem concerning you because of all the simcha with which we rejoice on account of you before Eloheinu,
10 As, yomam valailah, we are davening with all retzinut (earnestness) in order to see your penemer (faces) and to bring to shleimut what is lacking in your [orthodox Jewish] emunah?
11 And may Eloheinu and Avinu, may Hashem Himself and Adoneinu Yehoshua direct our way to you.
12 And may Hashem cause you to grow and to overflow and abound in ahavah (agape) for one another and for kol Bnei Adam, just as also we have ahavah (agape) for you,
13 With this tachlis (purpose): to establish your levavot faultless in kedushah (holiness) in the presence of Hashem and Avinu at the Bi’as Moshiach (Coming of Moshiach) of Adoneinu Yehoshua with all His Kadoshim. Omein.
1 Thessalonians 3
Worldwide English (New Testament)
3 We felt we could not wait any longer. So we thought it best to stay at the city of Athens alone.
2 And we sent our brother Timothy to you. He works for God by telling the good news about Christ. We sent him to help you be strong and to encourage you in what you believe.
3 We do not want anyone to give up because of the trouble. You yourselves know that we all will surely have trouble.
4 When we were with you, we told you that we would have trouble. Trouble came. And now you know what we said is true.
5 That is why I could not wait any longer. I sent Timothy to find out if you were still believing. I was afraid that Satan had tried you too much. Then our work would have been for nothing.
6 But now Timothy has come back to us from you. He has brought us the good news that you are still believing and have love in your hearts. He has told us that you always remember us. He also told us that you want to see us, just as we want to see you.
7 My brothers, the way you believe has comforted us in all our troubles.
8 It gives us new life now to know that you are standing strong in the Lord.
9 We cannot thank God enough for you. We are very happy about you as we talk to God.
10 Night and day we ask God that we may see you face to face. We want to help you know more about what you believe.
11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, open the way for us to come to you.
12 May the Lord make you stronger in your love for each other. Love others in the way we love you.
13 We want the Lord to help you to stand strong. And then, when the Lord Jesus comes with all God's people, you will be holy in the eyes of our God and Father. He will see no fault in you.
